This paper describes a simulation-based intelligent decision support system (IDSS) for real time control of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) with machine and tool flexibility. The manufacturing processes involved in FMS are complicated since each operation may be done by several machining centers. The system design approach is built around the theory of dynamic supervisory control based on...

the price of single point diamond tools with a sharp tip is very high due to complex machining process and highly expensive machining equipments. yet, the performance is not quite satisfactory. in this paper, we have presented a very simple and cost effective machining process for the sharpening and polishing of diamond stylus using low energy reactive ion beam machining (ribm). in our method, ...

The coil end spacers play an important role in the performance of superconducting coils, as their shape and location determine the mechanical stability of the conductors in the coil ends (and hence the overall coil training performance) and the local field quality. The dipole end spacers are often of a size and a geometry difficult to be industrially series manufactured and measured. Efficiency...

This paper describes an optimum cutting parameters for Titanium Grade5 (Ti-6Al-4V) using Wire-cut Electrical Machining Process (WEDM). The response of Volume Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Surface Roughness (Ra) are considered for improving the machining efficiency. A brass wire of 0.25mm diameter was applied as tool electrode to cut the specimen. The Experimentation has been done by using Tag...

Tool path generation is one of the most complex problems in Computer Aided Manufacturing. Although some efficient strategies have been developed, most of them are only useful for standard machining. The algorithm called Virtual Digitizing computes the tool path by means of a virtually digitized model of the surface and a geometry specification of the tool and its motion, so it can even be used ...

This paper is about new iso-parametric tool path planning for machining trimmed freeform surfaces. The trimmed surface has been re-parameterized by two different parameterization techniques, namely, the partial differential equation method and the newly developed boundary interpolation method. The efficiency of the scheme has been measured in terms of path length and computational time needed f...

Electrical discharge machining process is one of the most Applicable methods in Non-traditional machining for Machining chip in Conduct electricity Piece that reaching to the Pieces that have good quality and high rate of machining chip is very important. Due to the rapid and widespread use of alloy DIN1.2080 in different industry such as Molding, lathe tools, reamer, broaching, cutting guillot...

Process planning is the link between design and manufacturing and consequently an important function, since it influences many of the company objectives. However, many companies have little knowledge about their process planning function and the efficiency is thus not optimal. The paper focuses on the automation level of process planning as a mean to improve process planning efficiency. Six CNC...
